21st Century Books I Think Will Become Classics (Submitted by Lisa of Hopewell)
My gosh! This topic is so difficult! I’ve picked 10 books (published since January 2001) that I utterly adored, but these are just the first ten that occurred to me, that should/could become classics. There’s definitely more that I’ve forgotten for the moment.










The Raised by Wolves series // W A Hoffamn
The House in the Cerulean Sea // TJ Klune
A Man Called Ove // Fredrik Backman
The Goblin Emperor // Katherine Addison
Little Thieves // Margaret Rodgerson
The Bear and the Nightingale // Katherine Arden
The Murder Most Unladylike series // Robin Stevens
The Nevermoor series // Jessica Townsend
Blood Water Paint // Joy McCullough
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo // Taylor Jenkins Reid
Oh you have some great picks. I really loved The Bear and the Nightingale, Nevermoor and The Goblin Emperor. I really need to read The House of the Cerulean House.

An interesting looking list. I loved House In The Cerulean Sea and recommend it to people all the time! I found it hard to choose books that I thought would stand the test of time.
Happy TTT!

Yay, I had Nevermoor on my list today too and I really hope it becomes a classic 😃 Evelyn Hugo and Cerulean Sea are very popular choices today and I love to see it—both are in my all-time faves list! TBATN is also another great one. Fab list, Louise!

These are great picks! I could see them (at least the ones I’ve read) becoming classics.

I’ve only read one out of this list, The Bear and The Nightingale and I was not a fan of that one, but then it’s very of super descriptive, all vibes, no plot vein that just doesn’t work for me, so I think it’s a case of just not being the book for me.

I loved The Bear and The Nightingale, but I felt like the series really took off for me, with book 2. I wonder if that will affect it’s classic status?
I also loved The Seven Husband’s of Evelyn Hugo. I could see that being a classic.
I’ve been meaning to read the Goblin Emperor and the House in the Cerulean Sea for the longest time.

I felt the same about TBATN, but it sort of grew on me after the fact, if that makes sense? I really need to reread it.

Yeah, I think I should reread it too. Maybe I’ll appreciate it more as a stand alone now that I know where everything’s going (I don’t think that made sense!)

Interesting choices. Out of all of them, I’ve only read A Man Called Ove, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, The Bear and the Nightingale and House in the Cerulean Sea but I agree with you on all of them!
